Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker is not expected to play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. ESPN's Josina Anderson said Walker is out for Sunday's matchup despite returning to practice on Friday.

Walker is dealing with a sprained ligament in his wrist. Anthony Fasano, Craig Stevens and Chase Coffman will fill in at tight end in Walker's absence.
Fantasy impact: It’s a tough blow for fantasy owners, especially after seeing Walker practice in full two days ago. There was hope he would play, and after starting the season with 43 yards and a touchdown, it’s unfortunate he won’t be able to continue building on his rapport with his rookie quarterback.
The Titans backup tight ends aren't worth anything for fantasy value. Kendall Wright might see a bump in targets, but his value was already high after a huge Week 1. Monitor Walker's status heading into Week 3. With more practice, he should be able to make the active list.
